Laverne, Theresa, Tony, and Kevin,

May God wrap you in comfort and have others share fond memories with you at this time of sadness. LC and all of you were such a large part of my childhood! Kids today just do not have the kind of neighbors that we all grew up with. I sure have a lot of pleasant, wonderful memories of riding my bike to your house and playing. I always felt welcome and loved by all of your family. It seamed like everytime that I went by your house that LC was out in the front yard tinkering with something. My love and prayers are with you all at this time of grief!

Tony, we are sorry to hear about you dad. Peace be with you and your family.

Laverne and family so sorry to read of the death of L.C. The first thing that cames to my mind was when Clyde and I came to Rowe's Chapel Baptist Church and had lunch with you'll.
In the past two years since Clyde died I can tell you that what is needed every day is a new strength to make it just one day at a time and God will provide that. Wish I could come but have a lot of health problems myself but want you to know that I will be praying for you and your family
